Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) All-India Senior Selection Committee met at the Cricket Centre here to pick the Indian teams for the Test and the three-match One-Day International (ODI) series against Bangladesh, to be played from June 10 to 24.

Offie Harbhajan last played a Test for India in March 2013 against Australia.

Belying speculations, the Sandeep Patil-led committee selected a full-strength complement with skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni leading the ODI side and Virat Kohli captaining the Test squad.
